Otis College of Art and Design, Graduate Writing Program
Program Description
Otis College’s Graduate Creative Writing program guides the developing talents of advanced students in the complex practice of writing as a verbal art. At Otis the ultimate goal of graduate education is to demystify the student’s perception of the larger professional world of writing and publishing, and to launch emerging writers into lasting practices. To this end, it is expected that the final thesis project will be an advanced draft of a publishable book. At the heart of the program are the prose and poetry workshops, as well as the literary seminars, that unite fiction, non-fiction writers and poets within a richly diverse range of professional practices. Some 15-20 visiting writers and members of the national literary community visit campus each year; and the Graduate Writing program’s publishing ventures—the semi-annual literary tabloid, or, and our small press, Seismicity Editions, are integrated into the learning experience through fellowships and an optional minor in publishing. Our graduate faculty is made up of working fiction writers, poets, essayists, translators, anthologists and editors who have achieved recognition in their fields, and who join the students in building an eclectic, vibrant and expanding literary community in Los Angeles.
